THERE are in the United States alone
more than 100000 OF acres of land
owned by foreign syndicates ana land
lords, who spend the revenues derived
from rentals in building up the trade OF
other lands. There are in Ireland about
10000, 600 acres all told. AS Americans
we sympathize with Ireland over her
condition under the impoverishment
arising from absentee landlordism, and
then deliberately perpetuate and foster
the same or like conditions in free
America. The time has come for this
state and for the United States to pre-
vent by legal enactment the acquisition
OF landed estates in this country by
aliens and non-residents. Steps should
be taken in Illinois to compel these nom
resident landlords to sell out or forfeit
these lands. America wants no absentee
landlordism in hers.

OF these years has not diminished.
France, thirsting for revenge, is held in
check by the iron hand of Germany,
but each year shows her more restless
and more determined to regain her an
cient hold on Alsace and Lorraine. The
animosity which rankles so deep, that
not even a musical performance by the
hated enemy can be endured by the
rieyal populace, cannot be quenohed but
in blood. Europe cannot be at peace so
lang as republican France and monarch
ical Germany face each other across the
borders. One of these nations must in
crease and the other decrease until there
is no longer a question Of military su-
premacy. Before that time comes there
will be another struggle such as Europe
has not witnessed for many years. After
that, peace may come, not before. In
the meantime Germany is thirsting
for republican form of government.
The despOtism of Bismark is preparing
her for this event, and defeat at the
hands of France would hasten the newt
